According to Gorham scholar Sam Hough, the Gorham code of a letter over two others indicates a prototype for the company's use. These candlesticks were one of a number of oversized pieces produced by Gorham for showroom and marketing purposes. As they were not intended for sale, no costing records exist.

See lots 39 and 68, a Columbian Exposition claret jug and a tea service, that also formed part of the Lenox-Gorham Archive.
